Riders ready. Watch the gate. Get nerdy! We recently joined forces with our partners at USA BMX Foundation to contribute to a rad new project they’re doing in partnership with Discovery Lab and the Hardesty Foundation. A real first-of-its-kind, the project is a new exhibit at Discovery Lab’s children’s museum in Tulsa called Riders Ready: The Science of BMX.

Discovery Lab in Tulsa is opening a new exhibit called 'Riders Ready: The Science of BMX.' It is a STEM-focused BMX exhibit with hands-on and educational activities.

It is a true Tulsa-based project combining kids' love of bicycles with important lessons to set them up for future success.

The USA BMX Foundation, Hardesty Family Foundation and Discovery Lab are partnering together to bring a 2,000-square-foot STEM-focused BMX exhibit to the Discovery Lab in Tulsa come 2025.

"Our mission through USA BMX Foundation programs on STEM education through hands-on, project-based learning concepts. In which young students learn new ways of seeing the science, the technology, engineering and math through a BMX bike," said Ray Hoyt, USA BMX Foundation's executive director.

USA BMX Foundation announced Friday that Oklahoma State University Medicine would be the organization’s official sports medicine partner for USA BMX racing events at Hardesty National BMX Stadium, BMX Foundation youth programs and the USA Cycling National Team.
